About the photo. There is always "that guy". This is a California Quail - they're ground birds, like chickens. But there's always "that guy" that has to be different. "That guy" is identifying as a house finch (bird feeder bird). We love "that guy" doing his thing, his way. This is the "My Way" blog - I started it when I got my dx for diabetes, but there has always been a fashion/color thing going on. You'll still read about the medical piece, but far more about the color and fashion part of my life.

Fruit - My Personal Superfoods List

I've put together a list of "stuff" I have going on - and foods that supposedly help.  NOTE: All foods with carbs will raise your blood glucose.  Most of these foods are lower on the Glycemic Index scale, but all fruits should be combined with a fat and protein and eaten in moderation.
